Ken Jennings turned a friendly gesture into a savage burn on Twitter on Saturday night.
Jennings finally gave James Holzhauer a follow on social media, and Jennings promptly tweeted about the decision: “BREAKING: I have decided to follow @James_Holzhauer on Twitter, since he’s been following me on Jeopardy all week.”
In “Jeopardy! GOAT,” a competition between the most legendary Jeopardy! players in the history of the game, Jennings (two wins) has the lead over Holzhauer (one win) and Brad Rutter (no wins). The competition will end when one player gets three wins.
We thought Holzhauer, who started this war of words months before the competition began, was the GOAT of trash talk in Jeopardy! circles. But perhaps Jennings has taken the lead in that category, too.
Play will resume Tuesday night on ABC at 8:00 p.m. ET.
That’s when Jennings could be crowned winner, a victory which would earn him $1 million and the title of Jeopardy! GOAT.
